UW-SAREC (LINGLE):
The experiment was located at the University of Wyoming, Sustainable
Agriculture Research and Extension Center in Lingle, Wyoming during
2007. The soil was fertilized for a yield goal of 100 bushels of
grain per acre. Fertilizer was applied rate of 100 pounds N and 30
pounds P2O5 in the form of ammonium nitrate
(34-0-0) and diammonium phosphate (11-52-0). Ten wheat varieties
were established in plots 5 by 20 feet using double disk openers set
at a row spacing of 9 inches on 21 March. Weeds were controlled by
a post application of bromoxynil and MCPA (Bronate Advanced)
broadcast at 0.40, and 0.40 pounds active ingredient per acre.
Subplots, 5 by 15, were harvested on 31 July, using an Almaco plot
combine.
